SOCIETY correspondents from New
York are horrifying their readers abroad
by statements that ladies in good secie
ty are learning to swear and get pretty
full. It would be we'll to modify our
Indignation at this generalization by
the obvious fact that 1t is not true. 1t
is impossible for ladies to learn to swear
and get drunk, and the society where
female persons do such things is not
"good society" however industriously 1t
may advertise itself as such.

in the Pensi N Office at Washington an
application from Daniel o. Bryant, of
Nashville, Washington county, H.,
formerly private in Co. c. Thirteenth

of wounds received in the service. The
same day there was sent to the same

was anything in the records OF the Pen+
sion Office by which she might ascertain
tie whereabouts of her husband, Daniel
o. Bryant, of Company c, Thirteenth

nor heard from since the war. She sup
posed he was dead, and bad mourned
him as such, but had no evidence that
1t was so. If he was dead she wanted a
pension. Mr.. Faulkner, the Chief of the

The circular letter issued by Adjutant

penSes attending the encampment of the
State militia at Hagerstown are such as
will not permit the payment of troops for

with favor by some of the militia. DR.. s.

what 10 Take on Picnics.

At this season of the year the question
what eatables TO take on pic-nics arises so
frequently that a few suggestions may be
acceptable. Many people lose sight of
the fact that good bread and butter and
cold meat are articles OF which there
should be an ample supply, even at the
cost Of going without some deiicacies A
small spirit lamp will enable one to get, with
very little trouble, cup of hot tea, coffee
or chocolate. Here is list of good things
from which 10 make selections for lun-
cheon In the woods Buttered thin bread
buttered rolls, pressed chicken, tongue,
ham, pressed corned beef, sardines. stuff
ed eggs, hard boiled eggs, boiled smoked
Salmon, pickles, olives, crackers and
cheese, orange marmalade, hard ginger
bre adj, cake. cold coffee, cold tea, lemon
ade. There are many fruit syrups when
mixed with cold water make palatable
drinks. Lemon juice for lemonade should
be extracted at home and carried TO the
picnic grounds in bottles The sugar may
be put with ii or added with the water
when the lemonade is wanted. When ice
can be transported the bill Of fare may be
improved greatly For example, salads
may be packed in ice and they will be
found tempting when dinner is announ.
ced. Ice cream and sherbet also will
make the meal seem a hundred per cent
better on hot day, and little ice in the
lemonade will make il so much more re-
freshing as to repay one for the trouble
of carrying the ice But have good bread
and butter anyway. 1t is well to distri-
butte crackers and cheese among the party
on first reaching the grounds, SO as TO re
lieve any feeling of faintness.

been more than three letters returned by

of these were outside of the city limits.
